Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to celebrate with TES at Folsom Street East! We can’t wait to see you there.
Since 1997, Folsom Street East celebrates and inspires participation and pride in fetish, kink, and LGBTQIA+ communities through the creation of safe spaces for public expression of our sexual identities. The Folsom Street East festival has become an annual highlight of the global fetish/kink calendar as a sex and body-positive shared space on the streets of New York City. Folsom Street East envisions a world where sexual self-discovery and fulfillment are supported by a safe and affirming environment. Access to diverse fetish/kink community spaces is expanded, and fear of stigma and negative repercussions is diminished. People are empowered to challenge sexual norms and add to a broad spectrum of sexual identities and expressions. This year’s theme is “Bound Together”. The Street will once again be lined with some 50 community groups and vendors that appeal to the LGBTQIA+ and the kink communities. A one-stop shop for fetish/kink gear, porn and toys.
Folsom Street East is proud to honor this year’s beneficiaries:

While fairly new to the public scene, she has spent the last few years learning and exploring, discovering new things that excite her almost constantly. She lives up to her name, meeting each moment with energy and enthusiasm, always looking forward to the next adventure.

IN-PERSON - The Art of Tittie Torture with AngelFireQueen
2025-08-14 19:30 - 22:00 | LGBT Community Center, 208 W 13th St, New York, NY, 10011, United States
This class welcomes all body types, genders, and/or gender-nonconforming.
What comes to mind when you see that tittie? There’s no single right answer, and this class embraces the spectrum of possibilities.
As a devoted “boob-lover,” Angel often receives requests for specific forms of breast worship; many of her masochistic “breastfriends” seek the thrill of bruises and marks. As an artist dedicated to safe pleasure, Angel has cultivated numerous effective techniques for consensual breast torture, and she’s eager to share her findings.
This class provides a rich array of options for “tittie torture,” from psychological methods to those leaving no marks, and those designed for deep bruising.
Whether the occasion calls for subtle intensity or extreme impact, you’ll discover a wealth of techniques, including those that create sensation without physical touch.
Explore popular methods alongside more unique and intense approaches, all depending on your desired outcome.
Learn Angel’s favorite techniques, like how to create those beautiful, deep purple bruises many desire, or how to inflict profound pain without leaving a trace. This dynamic class focuses entirely on breasts, spanning the spectrum from the deeply sensual to the exquisitely painful.
Each session emphasizes consent, safe practices, and crucial aftercare. You’re welcome to attend solo or with your “breastfriends”; the class includes dedicated time for demonstrations and hands-on practice. Don’t forget to bring your favorite toys for a show-and-tell at the end of the workshop.
@AngelFireQueen, as a passionate advocate for “Boobie Worship,” is thrilled to present “The Art of Tittie Torture.
Bio:
Meet Angel (she/her), a multifaceted switch, poly, and pansexual energy player who thrives on community connection. Originally from Latin America, she’s called NYC home for 17 years, driven by a constant desire to learn, evolve, and safely explore.
Since discovering the kink community in 2021, Angel has become deeply involved, regularly attending parties, events, classes, and workshops. Her current passions span fire, electro play, all forms of sensation, rope, and breast worship/torture. Angel infuses the community with her unique and passionate energy.
In her professional life, she guides people to their dream homes.

IN-PERSON - BDSM 101 with Goddess Coko and Sadomasochist Sal
2025-08-28 19:30 - 22:00 | LGBT Community Center, 208 W 13th St, New York, NY, 10011, United States
Curious about BDSM? Whether you’re a beginner or returning to the scene, this class is your perfect starting point!
We’ll cover consent models, essential safety and negotiation skills, basic vocabulary, roles, and archetypes. Discover what BDSM is (and isn’t!) and how to navigate munches and play parties.
Our goal is to give you the foundation to explore kink safely, solo or with partners. Ready to dive in?
Bio:
Goddess Coko (she/her) had been an active member of the NYC kink scene for over 20+ years. She is happy and excited to be back serving on the TES Board as Secretary, a role she is familiar with when she served on the Board from 2008 to 2009. She returned to this role in November 2023 as an interim Director. Goddess Coko serves as Chair of the Communications and Promotions Committees, Vice Chair of Community Relations, and volunteers on the POC Committee.
Goddess Coko is also a Founding Mother of ONYX PEARLS NY-Northeast and former Co-Head Mistress and Web Mistress for ClubFEM NYC. Goddess Coko is a proud member of Goddess House NJ, a FemDom-led Leather family.
Sadomasochist Sal (he/him/they/them) has been active in the BDSM community since the summer of 2021. During this time, Sal has attended several conventions, including three TESFests, all of which he volunteered at, and has become a regular at several NYC-based play parties and munches. At the end of 2024, he began volunteering at TES, an organization he has been a member of since 2023.
As a sadomasochist, Sal enjoys both receiving and inflicting physical pain when consent is explicitly given. Although he has a particular fondness for impact play, he also enjoys fire play, mummification, trampling, and rope suspension. And he is also a caregiver at heart, as he derives extreme pleasure from sharing his knowledge and experiences with others, especially those newer to the community.
